Year: 1916
Runtime: 71 mins
Directed by Richard Oswald, the film adapts Jacques Offenbach’s operetta Les contes de Hoffmann, a musical collage of short stories by E.T.A. Hoffmann. Though once dismissed as mere fantasy, Hoffmann’s work has been re‑examined for its metaphysical depth, reflecting his lifelong opposition to rationalism and his fascination with carnival‑like, death‑imagery scenes that anticipate later literary theory.
